前几天,在微博上看到了“塔斯基吉试验”: 自1932年起,美国公共卫生部(PHS)以400名非洲裔黑人男子为试验品秘密研究梅毒对人体的危害,隐瞒当事人长达40年,使大批受害人及其亲属付出了健康乃至生命的代价。尽管美国政府在上世纪70年代东窗事发后下令彻查、予以赔偿,并最终...
评分读《天才、狂人与梅毒》 文/方木鱼 德博拉•海登是一位严谨的医学教授,兼传记侦探。在本书的开篇,他这样写到:历史不轻易作出结论,德博拉•海登的结果也并非盖棺定论,她只是提供一种可能:死于梅毒——天才、狂人的另一种结局。 梅毒是一种病,由于某种人所共知的...
评分在《天才、狂人与梅毒》一书中,出现一个关键的时间节点:1484年11月25日6点4分,土木相交,压制木星。占星家随后宣称:地球将大乱,出现洪水、地震、战争、饥荒以及可怕的性病。次年2月22日,查理八世的法国军队攻打那不勒斯。战后各国佣兵被解散回家,梅毒随之散播至全欧洲...
评分这是一本不好读的书,分为两部分,第一部分讲述“梅毒这顽疾”,第二部分是“梅毒名人展”。整书琐碎而详实,就像考古挖掘一样,把被历史所埋没的残砖剩瓦挖出来,稍作清理后摆给你看。 也许看看这些前人遗留下的记录,载写着那让人痛苦、衰弱而有时心情愉快的发病过程,可以提...
评分依稀记得《围城》中方鸿渐留学回乡后,赶鸭子上架被邀请为家乡的众学子演讲的那一段。倒不是那一段有多么的幽默,而是他所选择的演讲话题放当时也确实是太惊世骇俗。鸦片与梅毒,前者也就算了,后者实在是难等大雅之堂,难怪弄的台上台下,乡里乡亲的之后都不待见他。 看到《天...

"How a transmittable little bacterium with a twisting propellant tail...deeply affected...mankind's perception of itself." Anthony Day, Los Angeles Times From Beethoven to Oscar Wilde, from Van Gogh to Hitler, Deborah Hayden throws new light on the effects of syphilis on the lives and works of seminal figures from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. Writing with remarkable insight and narrative flair, Hayden argues that biographers and historians have vastly underestimated the influence of what Thomas Mann called "this exhilarating yet wasting disease." Shrouded in secrecy, syphilis was accompanied by wild euphoria and suicidal depression, megalomania and paranoia, profoundly affecting sufferers' worldview, their sexual behavior, and their art. Deeply informed and courageously argued, Pox has been heralded as a major contribution to our understanding of genius, madness, and creativity.
